how to apply the ghostly decal 02. Mar 2012
One of my favorite record labels have created a laptop decal which works especially great on Macbooks. When applying the decal however, great care needs to be taken. Basically, if you mess it up, you don’t get a second chance (well, maybe you do). So if you’re more the clumsy type and ordering internationally, you might want to buy two sets from the start.
With this being said, if you know what to watch out for, it’s actually not that hard getting it right the first time. If you’re unsure how to get it done, see my little how-to below. I’m not saying this is the smartest way to get it done, but it worked great for me.
Step 1: Remove the protective cover of the decal so that the sticky surface is exposed. Be careful not to touch it. Then place it on the laptop with the non-sticky side downwards. Adjust the position of the decal so that the actual artwork completely covers the logo. Now mark the edges with something that stays firmly in place. I used regular household grade plastic tape, which is certainly not the best solution, but it did the job.
Step 2: Carefully apply the decal by gradually lowering it on the surface while applying gentle pressure. If you mess it up there will be air bubbles.
Step 3: Remove the tape with the help of a tissue (using your uncovered finger nails might leave scratches on the surface) and remove the glue rests with a mild cleaning fluid.
Step 4: Enjoy!

linux on the desktop 17. Jan 2011
Wieso gibt es eigentlich keine kommerziellen Linux-Desktops? Interessant in diesem Zusammenhang ist ja ein Vergleich der Human Interface Guidelines von Mac OS X, Gnome und KDE. Letztere sind wirklich gruselig, da wundert einen nicht, dass die meisten Linux-Desktop-Applikationen aussehen wie Kraut und Rüben.
